The words caused the hearts of all the cultivators present to shudder.
At first, when Qin Yi said those words, a few people thought that he was trying to scare people by avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial, and changing the topic to avoid the fact that he had gained nothing in the Rain-savoring Building.
However, after hearing those words, everyone couldn't sit still anymore.
Those who were quick-witted would realize that this was not an alarmist after thinking for a while.
Nominally, they were employed by the Shi family, but the Shi family had always obeyed the bloodline of the three elders. This was a well-known fact.
If the bloodline of the third clan elder killed the sixth clan elder. If the grand patriarch's bloodline wanted to avenge the sixth patriarch, but couldn't find an excuse, the most direct target was the Shi family and the rogue cultivators hired by the Shi family.
After all, the First Clan Elder's faction would not feel any pressure killing a few wandering cultivators, and the Third Clan Elder's faction might not even care.
No matter how thick-skinned Boss Han was, he still felt that something wasn't right.
"He … Motherf * cker! Now that you've mentioned it, it's a little strange. Lu Jing, you're smart. Tell me, will the Grand Clan Elder's bloodline really vent their anger on us? "
Lu Jing pondered for a moment before saying, "If the Grand Clan Elder's bloodline finds concrete evidence that the Third Clan Elder's bloodline assassinated the Sixth Clan Elder, then they will definitely confront the Third Clan Elder and take action directly. That way, we won't be implicated. If they can't find any evidence at the moment and don't want to lose their momentum, it's very likely that the Shi family and those hired by the Shi family will become their punching bags. "
As if not wanting to hurt everyone's morale, Lu Jing added, "Of course, these are all theoretical possibilities. Perhaps, for small characters like us, the Yun Family's Clan Elder simply doesn't care about us? Even if he wanted to make a move, would he choose a slightly harder target? Like the Shi family? "
Boss Han scratched his head. "If that's the case, we might still be implicated."
Qin Yi sneered, "From the moment we were hired by the Shi family, we were already involved in the whirlpool of conflict."
In the midst of their conversation, a Transcendent Mortal unaffiliated cultivator suddenly rushed into the room.
"Big Brother Han, Seniors … Just now, a brother of mine came back with the latest news."
"What?" Boss Han jumped up and asked.
"The outside world is saying that the three elders of the Yun Family are fighting amongst themselves. While the Great Clan Elder and the Third Clan Elder were fighting, the Second Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder were secretly making a fortune. The branch of the Second Clan Elder oversaw the White Deer Mountain, which was the location of the Jiang Clan's imperial ancestral temple. It was said that countless resources and treasures of the royal family were buried there. He also said that there was a miraculous Secret Realm in that place, and it was this Secret Realm that had produced many talented people for generations of the Jiang Clan. It was said that the second elder was the smartest and had no interest in hunting down the remnants of the Jiang family. His interest was placed on White Deer Mountain to find the Jiang family's treasure and the secret realm. It is said that the resources and opportunities there are enough to create another Azure Net Kingdom. "
"What? Where did you get the news? "
"I don't know who spread the news, but it has spread like wildfire in all the restaurants and teahouses."
"The treasure of the Jiang Royal Family? Arcane realm? Resources? Opportunity? "Big Boss Han muttered to himself. His eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was struggling mentally.
It was obvious that Big Boss Han's mind was in a mess after hearing the news.
Qin Yi knew that Jiang Xinyue must have secretly sent someone to spread the news in advance.
"Xinyue is indeed more impatient than I am. I was going to find an opportunity to spread the news. I didn't expect Xinyue to have already sent someone to spread the news. That saves me the trouble of worrying about it. "
The lie that Jiang Xinyue had spread was explosive enough to whet the appetite of wandering cultivators.
Since the rumor had already spread, there was no need for Qin Yi to do anything else. He feigned disdain and said, "Would you believe such a rumor?"
Big Boss Han glared. "Why not? Everyone knows that the Yun Family's Second Clan Elder is the smartest person in the world. "
Even Lu Jing said thoughtfully, "I really have no choice but to believe it. I heard people say that the Yun Family's Second Clan Elder's branch is elusive and didn't participate in the hunt for the remnants of the Jiang family. Could it be that they're really on White Deer Mountain and are secretly searching for the Jiang family's treasure? "
Only Qin Yi knew that apart from the Inheritance Relic, the Jiang family's treasure was not on White Deer Mountain. As for the specific location, Qin Yi did not ask Jiang Xinyue.
However, when Qin Yi saw that even Lu Jing, who prided himself on being smart, was tempted, he became even more determined that his plan to fish in troubled waters was already half successful.
"Damn it, this is really confusing." Big Boss Han's tone was a little gloomy. "Although the Shi family offered a lot of rewards … if the rumor is true, then White Deer Mountain is far more fortuitous than the royal capital. Perhaps the riches of a lifetime are not in the royal capital, but in White Deer Mountain. "
His words were like pouring oil on everyone's heart and lighting a fire.
"Big Boss Han, why don't we quit?" someone suggested carefully.
"Hehe, I can quit now. I only got a Dao Connotation Pill. That's exactly the reward for two days. As for you guys, you have to work for the Shi family for three days for a Dao Connotation Pill. "Big Boss Han's mind worked quickly, and he laughed loudly." I quit. I'm quitting now. "
Lu Jing rolled his eyes and said leisurely with a smile, "It seems that I also got a Dao Connotation Pill for two days. It's enough to work for the Shi family for two days. Let's just say that half a day was wasted. "
The other Dao foundation realm itinerant cultivators were instantly dumbfounded.
They did not expect Big Boss Han and Lu Jing to quit so decisively.
Yu Hong was obviously also dumbfounded. "Big Boss Han, Captain Lu, you're quitting just like that? You're just going to leave your brothers behind? "
Big Boss Han said with a strange smile, "Brothers? Do you really think that after working together for two days, we've become brothers? When we work together, we call each other brothers for the sake of doing things. We've already disbanded, so why are we still brothers? "
Yu Hong said gloomily, "Big Boss Han, why are you so short-sighted? Let's not talk about whether this rumor is true or not. Even if it's true, what advantage do you have compared to the Yun family? What advantage do you have compared to any of the Azure Net Nation's factions? What advantage do you have compared to other itinerant cultivators? It's rare for you to reunite with so many brothers. What do you think you can do by going to White Deer Mountain alone? "
These words caused Big Boss Han to stop in his tracks.
